Underground ELF Sends Further Message Of Responsibility
For The November 27 Fire In Longmont, Colorado
URGENT NEWS ADVISORY
January 4, 2001
LONGMONT, CO - The Earth Liberation Front (E.L.F.) has communicated further information in regards to the November 27th fire that destroyed a new luxury
home in Longmont, Colorado.
The communique sent by the ELF stated, "This message is being sent to tie up some loose ends regarding the boulder ELF direct action on November 27th."
The ELF is an international organization that uses direct action in the form of economic sabotage to stop the destruction of the natural environment.
The communique continued, "The method used to burn down the legend ridge mansion included these steps:
1) We arrived at the legend ridge mansion undetected at approximately 2:50a.m.
2) We placed several pages of the denver post on the wooden floor next 2 the
south-side wall and doused the spot with nearly 4 gallons of unleaded gasoline.
3) We lit a newspaper torch with a lighter and threw it down on the gasoline-soaked spot."
The communique went on to state, "we know that the real 'eco-terrorists' are the rapists of mother earth. We know that the real 'eco-terrorists' are the
white male industrial and corporate elite. They must be stopped. This boulder ELF direct action attempted to financially disrupt the operations of boulder's
corporate developers. Join the resistance!"
The ELF have also recently claimed responsibility for a series of fires attacking urban sprawl on Long Island in New York. Over ten actions in a few month time period have been claimed by the ELF on Long Island.
Over million in damages have been inflicted by the ELF in the United States since 1997 on entities profiting off the destruction of the environment.
